WILL BE BUILT OR IF SOMETHING LESS UNIQUE WILL REPLACE IT. MANY TEACHERS GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS. TONIGHT ONE MAN HAS GONE BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. AT LAKE WHITNEY ELEMENTARY THERE'S A NEWLY BALD TEACHER ON CAMPUS. THE TEACHER SACRIFICED HIS OWN HAIR TO MAKE SURE ONE SPECIAL STUDENT WOULD FEEL AT HOME IN CLASS. THIS IS EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DINO SPORTING A FULL HEAD OF HAIR. RECENTLY DINO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ALOPECIA. AN AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE THAT ATTACKS THE HAIR FOAL KELS AND HE HAS BEEN -- FOLLICLES AND HE HAS BEEN GOING BALD. THIS IS HIS THIRD GRADE TEACHER. AND THIS IS BOTH OF THEM TODAY. SHAVED CLEAN AND JOINED IN SOLIDARITY. I THINK HE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. [ LAUGHTER ] STEINER SAYS WHEN HE LEARNED DINO WAS STRUGGLE WITH WHETHER OR NOT TO SHAVE HIS HEAD, THEY HAD A TALK. I JUST KIND OF BROUGHT IT UP, LIKE, HEY MAN I'LL SHAVE MINE TOO IF THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER. AND I TOLD HIM TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL DAY. BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON DINO TOLD STEINER HE WAS GOING TO SHAVE IT OFF. WHEN THE TWO WERE REUNITED AT SCHOOL MONDAY. MY JAW DROPPED AND, LIKE, HE DID IT. STEINER SAYS HE SHAVED HIS HEAD WITH THE HOPE IT WOULD MAKE DINO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR THIRD GRADE CLASS. IT JUST STINKS TO GO THROUGH THINGS ON YOUR OWN. AND I THINK IF YOU CAN HAVE SOMEBODY TO WALK THROUGH SOMETHING WITH IT JUST MAKES LIFE MORE ENJOYABLE. HE IS REALLY SUPPORTIVE. THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD AWARD GOES HIM. DINO AND HIS TEACHER SAY MOST OF THE STUDENTS HAVE REACTED VERY POSITIVELY TO THEIR SHAVED HEADS. DINO, I'M CURIOUS, DO YOU THINK THE GIRLS ARE GOING TO FIND YOU CUTER NOW? NO. NO? MAYBE. I THINK SO.
